As a result, many of the traffic lights at downtown intersections are inoperable. As a reminder, motorists should treat such intersections as a four way stop. If you can avoid areas impacted by the outage please do so.
Those people who have medical monitors that require electricity should plan to be without power during the day and make arrangements accordingly.
